A CENTENARIAN.
A Witness of the Reign OF Terror in
France.

'es>
A C~onstantinople correspondent
writes to US as follows with reference
to a remarkable centenarian who had
been a friend of Robespierre: Con
stantinople has just lost its oldest in
habitant in the person OF Nj. Dimltrios
An:ippa, who died on the 10th in
slant, at tie extraordinary z of one
hundred and fifteen. He really counted
as a figure in history, though few who
knew and respected HIM as "a modest
yet influential merchant were aware
how ~eventful had been the early part
OF his long life. He was born in l772,
at Cephalonia, his parents beng en-
gagged in commerce 1T Constantinople.
Here be remained until he was fifteen,
when yieldlng to the persuasions of the
attache at the French embassy, NJ.
Chen:er, brother of the famous poet
and a great friend Of the family, An
tippa here resolved to send his son to
Paris, the center of thought and learn
ing, where he might complete his edu-
cation in the best way. The boy saw
the French capital during its most aw-
full revolutionary period. lie witnessed
all the CHASTITY scenes of the Reign Of
Terror" He knew Marat, Danton.
Robespierre personally. AS a Greek
he could frequent both Girondist
and Montagnard society, and
was intimate now with Camille Des-
moulins and Barnave. now with
Tallien and st. just. In Nine. Tai
liens salon he danced the Carmagnole
and sang ga ira He was a friend
Of poor Andre Chenier, and saw him
die. lie was also present ut the muir
der Of Marie Antoinette on the scaffold.
In fact, he witnessed the guillotine de-
stroy all its most famous victims.
When the storm had passed. in the
calm time which succeeded it, young
Antippa returned TO his parental home
in Constantinople and started life a
merchant. From numerous friends of
note in Paris he had obtained most
tiattering letters of recommendation,
and these helped him at once to get
complete recognition in tue French So
ciety of Constantinople, then far more
powerful than it is to-day. The en-
bassies, one and all, received him AS a
distinguished guest, and the French
ambassador became his most intimate
friend. At The French embassy young
Antippa is said to have first introduced
the Carmagnole. which was danced in
Pera during the carnival Of l794-5.
In his habits Nj, Antippa was most
retiring, even reserved and cold to-
wards strangers. For eighty years he
lived at his residence at Tatavia, on
the heights facing the Turkish capital.
1t was within easy distance of his office
at Galata, to which he was wont to
ride daily. invariably attended by a
servant.-Pall Mall Gazette.

GAMBLING IN '4o.
i1me Of the Sensations in Stakes When
the Golden Gate Was Tender.

There was a Frenchwoman who
played the violin, receiving 800 a day
aerefor, and. as women were SO scarce
a those days, whenever she left the
aloon TO go out on the streets every
aloon around the square was emptied
o get a look at her. In these saloons
here were piles of gold, both in coin
md in sacks of gold dust, that would
)ut some of our commercial banks Of
be present day TO he blush, and long
ables that had their croupiers ready to
axe in or pay out as fast as the cords
yere turned off. / have often wat ,hed
iome novice who was putting down his
irs' ventures at play. On n occa-
ion / saw at the same table two cler.
yymen shove their coin under another
mans arm on the table. l knew them
both. and know of what l spcak-we
IRE all mortals after all.
Among other noted players was a
udge at that time, who made it a point
o go around from place TO place making
nigh plays. Upon entering with his at
endant, who carried the sack, he would
sit down at a table and bar off every
other player; then set his time OF play
1t a limit, say twenty minutes or half
an hour, the stakes from $40, 600 to
$40, 900, with the bank. Meantime, to
keep the crowd that would be in at The
lime, which would number from 800 up
10 nearly 1000, he always asked them
all TO take a drink, which meant 25
cents q head for the bar; and il he won
ne paid for the drinks; if he lost the
bank bad them to pay for.-Overland
